New neuroscience job at Wilfrid Laurier University. You may not know the name, but science has been growing fast. It is also down the street from Canada's top tech university (Waterloo) and a world class physics institute (Perimeter). I feel happy and lucky to be here careers.wlu.ca/job/Waterloo...

Key elements of the Trump administration’s arguments this week for another military campaign against Iran are either false or unproven. Here's a fact-check. nyti.ms/46tj8P5

No group thinking here. Are the injectable vitamins still a thing? Intravenous of course. I also hear good things about taking peptides. So Cialis, pot, injectable vitamins, peptides, some testosterone and I am golden.

I am not sure who needs to hear this

Am I wrong to understand that now Americans will pay 15% more in imports from all countries? If all imports are taxed at 15% that is just taxing Americans that much more? So much for republicans being about lower taxes i guess.

yes, mine is a 2025. really useful not to have to carry a bulk of keys on me.

Celebrating Byron Caughey, 1957-2026 Byron Caughey, a wonderful friend and mentor and a giant of the prion research field, has passed away.

This personal account of Byron truly highlights the type of person he was, simple one of the best www.cureffi.org/2026/02/18/c...

Here is to Byron Caughey who left us too early. A kind person who lived life to make friends and help others. His legacy remains in the many people he trained in the prion field. I have seen a number of well written tributes to him, including this one. 👇🏼

We had a Network for Prion research which funded a lot of targeted work and I was contacted out of the blue. I established a number of collaborations that last to this day. This all happened because this amazing scientist contacted a young professor in Brazil and reached out to collaborate.

Over the years Byron invited me to speak in meetings and vice versa. And we had occasional emails exchanges and phone calls. Few years later I moved to Canada and emailed Byron to tell him. He quickly helped me to set up collaborations in Canada. And i am quite sure he advocated strongly for me.

Byron was not just an accomplished scientist, he was also a true gentleman and a generous collaborator. Ana published many papers working as a visiting student and returned to defend her thesis to receive an award in Brazil. She has told me so many times how well Byron received her in his lab.

But one of the PhD students involved in that research was going to stay behind in Brazil. I introduced Ana Magalhães to Byron and suggested she could do it, if she visited his lab. Ana received a scholarship from Brazil and off she went. I visited Hamilton once when she was there.

Byron asked to visit my lab, which at the time was located in Brazil. He came for a visit and i still remember him telling me he was excited to read that paper and wanted to do similar experiments but with infectious prions. I was about to leave for a sabbatical in 6 months somewhere else.

I will miss my friend and former collaborator Byron Caughey, one of giants of neurodegenerative disease research. In 2002 i published a JBC paper on trafficking of the prion protein and shortly after received a communication from Byron, who I had never met. www.legacy.com/us/obit-writ...

my car has a phone e-key which i can send to anybody by message. I don’t ever need to carry my car keys unless there is a battery issue, which happened twice in 2 years. i am
assuming Hyundai is not the only one doing it?

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

“Some pundits, politicians and right-wing news outlets began posting about what they called an epidemic of violence by trans ppl. But experts say there's no evidence to support [this,] and trans advocates worry claims will do [harm to] an already marginalized community.”
